Description:

This spectacular tour shows you all the “must see” attractions and scenic vistas of Oahu, from serene Keehi Lagoon and historic Honolulu Harbor, to Aloha Tower, Ala Moana Beach Park, Magic Island and world famous Waikiki Beach.

On the eastern end of the island is Hanauma Bay, the remnants of a volcanic crater that is now a marine sanctuary and popular snorkel spot. Up next come the Halona Blowhole, Sandy Beach, Makapuu Point and lighthouse, and colorful Sea Life Park.

After cruising above the powdery white sands of Waimanalo Beach, the tour continues over the gorgeous coral formations of Kaneohe Bay, distinctive Chinaman’s Hat, and then up into “Jurassic Park” valley, where a dozen major motion pictures have been filmed. The highlight of the tour is Sacred Falls, a shear and splendid 1,000-foot cascade.

On your way over Oahu’s Central Plain, you'll see the world’s largest agricultural maze at the Dole Pineapple Plantation and the “birthing stones” of Hawaiian royalty. Your tour concludes with a panoramic vista of Pearl Harbor.

H Tours Hawaii is a "one stop shop" for all the best activities in the Hawaiian Islands. Since we work with many providers, reservations are necessary. WE HIGHLY recommend making reservations, as many activities are at a discount when you reserve in advance. Some providers even charge higher for those "walking in" because they know chances are you're not going to walk away. Finally, a reservation ensures you have a space on the tour. Trust us you don't want to spend so much time and money to come to Hawaii and then miss out on an activity because they were booked out!

Most companies, if not all, require you to call them if you're trying to book something 2-3 days in advance. Do you really want to be spending your valuable time in Hawaii calling around to desperately find something that is available to do? While we can usually accommodate most last-minute bookings, we highly encourage those that are checking out our website far in advance to book 2-3 weeks prior to desired date. You never know if there's a convention, special event, or an increase in overall visitors in town, and it would be a shame if the activities that you want to do are sold out because you waited until the last minute. Basically, if you know you want to do it, just book it!

Most companies have a set of centrally located hotels that they do pick ups from. This makes the pickup process short so you can start the tour as soon as possible! When you get to the booking page, select the hotel you are staying at. Your confirmation email will have the pickup location which will either be your hotel, or somewhere within 5 minute walking distance.

Overall:

Was the tour accurately described on the webiste? In other words did it meet your expectations?

Thank you Makani Kai Helicopters for making my son Caleb's wish come true! We received our DVD the other day, so blessed to be able to relive the experience over and over again. By the way Maggie is awesome!

I surprised my husband with the doors off helicopter tour and it was absolutely amazing! We just moved to the island a year ago and we learned so much from the pilot and the flight path he took was absolutely amazing! And the funny thing is that unbeknownst to me, my husband had booked the same tour to surprise me the following day!! Knowing they have a 72 hour cancellation policy we figured there ... morewas no way we'd get our money back for the double booking. But they were so nice and understanding and made sure we got 100% refund for the extra booking! And they gave us a DVD of the tour afterwards, it was definitely one of the best things we've done on the island. I would definitely recommend not only doing a helicopter tour, but using this company as well!

If anyone wants a great thrill ride - like a "roller coaster" then I would suggest that you have a helicopter ride with one of the Makani Kai Helicopter pilots - Jeff! He is a retired military and boy, does he fly like a cowboy! Make sure you have your aloha bag right in front of you! Shaka skaka your stomach will go! Great guy....
